Excerpt from " A Thematic Commentary On The Qur'an "
Muhammad al-Ghazali [ 1917 - 1996 ]
Boasting about one's religion or beliefs is a hopeless pursuit. Sincere actions and sensible behaviour shall be the final criterion. Today we meet people who are so eager to express their pride in Islam, bragging about its superiority, integrity,and justice. However, when these same individuals are asked what contributions or sacrifices they have made for Islam, or what distinguishes them from followers of other religions, they would become dumbfounded. In response to these people, God says: " It will not be in accordance with your desires, nor the desires of the People of the Scripture. He who doeth wrong will have the recompense thereof, and will not find against Allah any protecting friend or helper. (123)
Nowadays, although while we find Christians and Jewish leaders openly and proudly identifying with the ideals and traditions of their religions, we rarely find political leaders of Muslim countries observing or respecting even the simple daily prayers.
